The Itunes Meme

I’m home sick today and I’m feeling a tad bit better so I was wondering around the blogworld and I came across this Itune Meme at, A Girl and her Blog, a blog I’ve never been to before and I wanted to do it just for fun.

How many total songs?

I haven’t downloaded much since my divorce it seems and so my number is very unimpressive. There are 52 songs on there only. On the computer that I don’t have any more, there were a lot more but those are now on CD’s somewhere.

Sort by song title – first and last…
At Last by Etta James – Without You by Matt Ryczek

Sort by time – shortest and longest…
Potential Breakup Song by Ally and AJ (3:40) – Run by Snow Patrol (5:57)

Sort by Album – first and last…
Acoutacism by Kalai – 40 Days by The Wailin Jennys

Sort by Artist – first and last…
Acceptance is first, and 10,000 Maniacs is last.

Top five played songs…
1. Colorblind by Natalie Walker 20 times
2. Sadly Beautiful by Jessica Riddle 19 times
3. I Just Love You by Five for Fighting 18 times
4. Screaming Infidelities by Joanna 18 times
5. Let it Be Me – Rosie Thomas 17 times

First off I don’t listen a lot through my Itunes on the computer. Sometimes I do in my office but I also have songs in my Windows Media player. What is up that of the top 5, four of them are covers? I’m worried about me. I do have to say that the Sadly Beautiful and Colorblind covers are wonderful and in their own way better than the originals.

Find the following words. How many songs show up?

Sex: 0, Death: 0 (dead – 2), Love: 3, You: 7, Home: 0, Boy: 1, Girl: 3

First five songs that come up on Party Shuffle…
1. I Believe in Love – Indigo Girls
2. Not a Virgin – Poe
3. Rehab – Amy Winehouse
4. Everything to Me – Liz Phair
5. Head On Straight- Tonic

    I’m amazed, and I bow to your greatness. I must be the only person left on earth without an iPod. One of these days, when I get some time…

    Although, I must say, I’m glad I never threw out my vinyl collection…

    Oh I don’t have an iPod either! It’s one of those… “When I win the lottery” things.

    This is awesome. Anything that gives me more time with my iPod is awesome. Stay tuned, ’cause I’m definitely doing this one this week.

    Pm: What a great collection. The Blower’s Daughter is a great song I have that one laying around here somewhere.

    Tigereye: If I’m a really good girl will Santa bring me an iPod filled with music for Christmas? I’ve missed you and I’m glad that you are here. Now just get Bigcocky on wordpress and I’ll be completely happy.

    You might have to do something for Santa you wouldn’t want the girls to see, but I hear he carries extra iPods just for that possibility. :)

    This sounded kind of fun. Why is when you decide not to do memes, you kind of miss them?

    Quite a range for only 52 songs.

    I’m not a fan of anything iPod. I have a Chinese MP3/4 player that was half the price and just as cool.

    Great selections. Poe has a new CD out? I liked her first and second efforts.

    Tiger: Hmmm, sounds like I’ll have to be a good/bad girl. That sounds like work. I guess I’ll just be lazy.

    Amuirin: Thanks! I did this one mostly out of curiosity. I wasn’t tagged or anything. I just wanted to see what it would show.

    Steve: I think the Virgin song is old. It’s from her Haunted album that came out back in 2000. It’s also a song that if it comes on in the van I need to turn it right away. My daughters both pick up songs quickly and I don’t need my 7 year old walking around singing…
    I’m not a virgin anymore
    I just thought you should know
    Darlin’ I’ve been around
    Yeah, I’ve been up and down your block
    In fact I have been all over town

  10. [...] not one meme, it’s TWO!!! ha! Yay! Yep, I’m gonna mutate the hell out of this thing. Bibliomom did an iTunes meme that I thought was pretty funky a couple days ago & TIV displayed a few [...]
